Candice is excellent; she takes great care of our 17-yr old cat with all his food and water needs and sends detailed updates with great pictures of each visit plus everything is always clean when we return. Always glad and less worry when we have had her several times and are never disappointed.

Christa has a way with animals - my cats liked her immediately when she came over to meet them before my trip. She sent pictures every day. Seeing that all was well helped me relax and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with my family!

Samantha! We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs Harry Stanley and De Niro received! Our dog care taker went absolutely above and beyond to make sure our pups were happy and well taken care of while we were away for our wedding. Samantha was incredibly punctual, reliable, and genuinely attentive to our boys’ needs. Knowing they were in such capable and loving hands gave us complete peace of mind on our special day and throughout our time away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — she truly made all the difference. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dedicated dog care taker!

About: With over seven years of professional experience in animal care, I’m passionate about providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care for every pet I meet. My background includes managing a busy doggy daycare, working as a veterinary assistant in a veterinary hospital, earning my PetSmart Pet Care Certification, and providing dependable in-home pet sitting for families. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable administering medications and recognizing signs that may require extra attention. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, overnight care in your home, daily walks, playtime, or extra TLC, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Whether you need weekday visits, weekend care, overnight stays, or last-minute drop-ins, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I believe pets thrive when they receive consistent care and attention, and I have the time to make sure they get exactly that while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, I’ll make sure they receive the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own pets. I understand that every animal has unique routines, preferences, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. In your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, provide plenty of updates with photos, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. If your pet is staying with me, they’ll have a clean, safe, and calm environment with constant supervision, plenty of enrichment, exercise, fresh water, and lots of affection. With my background as a doggy daycare manager, veterinary assistant, and professional pet sitter, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior or health, administering medications when needed, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pet, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands while you’re away.

Becca did a great job with my excitable Beagle and my very shy cat. You can tell that she loves animals, and the fur girls loved her instantly -- which made it much easier to leave them for a couple of days. I will ask her to help me again whenever I need to go away.

About: Even though I am relatively new to pet care for pay, I have been caring for pets of friends and family since middle school. Due to my long time love of animals of all shapes, sizes, and species, I have learned how to read a pet quick in order to provide them with the best care possible. As a student on summer break, I have tons of free time to care for the pets you love. As long as you provide me with enough time in advance, I'm more than happy to care for your pets! I trust you know the best way to care for your animal, so by following any instructions and recommendations you leave me I will be able to best protect and care for them while you are away.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals since i was little, and currently care for my own pets every day. I have experience with kittens, cats, and dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I currently work a part-time retail schedule, so my availability varies each week. I’m available on many mornings, evenings, and days off for drop-in visits, dog walks, and cat care. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and make sure your pets receive dependable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your feeding schedule, medications, routines, and any special instructions. I provide lots of love, playtime, and companionship while keeping your home clean, secure, and treating both your pet and your home with the same respect I would my own.

Rosie was awesome with my puppy Tyson. She did drop in visits on two consecutive days while I was at work to feed Tyson and let him potty. On one of the days it was snowing but she kept her commitment and was here for Tyson. I can tell that Rosie really loves animals and that she does this because she enjoys being around animals, specifically dogs. I would highly recommend Rosie to anyone who is seeking pet care services.

About: I've had experience with an array of animals, including puppies, senior dogs, and cats. I'm able to handle high-energy dogs and to give them the exercise they need. I currently also co-parent a senior cat who requires medication morning and night. I'm consistent and can handle medication resistant pets with gentle care. My schedule is currently very open this summer as a full-time art student, so I can dedicate as much time as needed to pets. I understand that the needs of each animal are different! I have watched over a dog that needed to be crated. I take about 4 to 5 walks depending on how long I'm watching a dog.

About: I am an experienced dog walker who loves dogs of all breeds, shapes, and sizes! I will be reliable and punctual because I am enthusiastic to spend time with your dogs!! I have an unusually work schedule, so my weekend is Monday - Tuesday. I am willing to spend a few hours of these days walking or caring for your pets. I will use the tools that you provide to me (leashes, harnesses, doggy bags, treats, crates, etc.) to complete my services. If providing a walking service, I will determine a safe walking path nearby.

Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I’m currently going to school to become a professional dog trainer. Because of my flexible school schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. For the past 11 months, I’ve worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have taken care of them since I was about 15. Aside from my own pets, I’ve been dog/cat sitting professionally for nearly a decade. I have worked with all kinds of dogs with different personalities, from young and energetic to old and stubborn. No matter the size, energy level, or personality, I would love to meet your dogs and give them the love and care they deserve. :) My services include overnight pet sitting, walks, and check ins (including medicine administration) Thank you for visiting my profile. I hope to work with you soon! As a recent graduate, I am able to pet sit full-time until I start work. My calendar will be updated regularly. I’m available for in-house pet-sitting as well as walks and drop-ins. When I petsit I usually stay at my clients house overnight with the dog(s). Usually cats don’t need this overnight service so if you have a cat I can come by everyday instead of overnight. (Unless otherwise specified by you.) My lower rates for cats reflect this. I will not be providing services at my own house. We have three dogs and a small house. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Vanessa took great care of our 3 cats while we were away! She's very thorough, detail-oriented, and clearly cares about animals. Our cats are normally skittish around new people, but she took the time to befriend them with treats and they really warmed up to her! Will definitely be asking her to pet sit again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Hickory Ridge on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 8,059 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hickory Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hickory Ridge. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
